| Abstract | ||
| Objective: To compare Efficacy and durability immediately, after one, 6 months results of balloon angioplasty alone versus balloon angioplasty and stenting of multiple tandem lesions in superficial femoral artery (SFA). Methods: percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with dilatation was done for 20 cases (group I) and PTA and stenting was done for 20 cases (group II) with (stenosis or occlusion). Results: On stratifying our cases according to TASC II classification, cases showed that in group I: 11(55%), 9 (45%) TASC B and C respectively, group II: 9 (45%), 11(55%) TASC B and were C lesions of the SFA. At one month, six month follow up, group I: 3occluded cases, no more occluded cases while in group II: all cases were successful, 9 cases occluded respectively. Conclusion: Although primary stenting of SFA provide excellent results in patients with TASC B& C lesions (short term). It doesn't provide Superior (Mid-term) to results to angioplasty alone.
